SPD anyone???

well i am 37 weeks pregnant and have somethin called SPD (symphisis pubis dysfunctionary) and no one i know has even heard of it let alone had it b4! i found out i had it when i was 26 weeks and now have to wear a support belt to keep my pelvis in place...it doesnt really do much tho!
all i want is someone to talk 2 about it! i cant sleep coz it hurts too much to stay in one place too long! and as the babys head engages it puts more pressure on my pelvis! anyone???

I didnt hear anything about this myself but i looked it up online and found this website that explains everything: www.plus-size-pregnancy.org/pubicpain.htm
it gives you ways to help with the pain and to help get rid of some of it to help you sleep and such.. sorry i didnt know more but i have loads of books if you need to chat.. good luck.

I have never heard of it, but I go to physical therapy to deal with my pelvic pain. The ligament attached to my pubic bone is sooooo sensitive and my legs are soooo weak and painful I sometimes cry out in pain when I move them. Every morning I have to hold on to the wall or bed or hubby so I don't fall.

I don't know if our experiences are similar, but I feel for you. This is the most painful pregnancy I have had. It is my third.

I was diagnosed with this at about 20 weeks. My dr. told me it was because This is my 3rd child. But look at it ina good way. Your body is already ready to have the baby:) The pain I have from it sometimes is quite uncomfortable But Ihave been dealing with it the best I can..Hope this helps to know your not alone in this

I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
